A High Sucrose Diet Decreases the Mechanical Strength of Bones in Growing Rats1,2,

Leo Tjiderhane*3 and Markku Larmas*^

ABSTRACT High sucrose diets after mineral metabolism in humans and animals. We examined the effect of a high sucrose diet on bone growth, composition and mechanical strength in growing rats. Weanling Wistar rats received a high sucrose (43 g/100 g) diet (9 males, 11 females). In the control diet (8 males, 8 females), sucrose was replaced with potato starch, providing an equal energy value. At the onset of the experiment, bones were marked by tetracycline. After 5 wk, the ...
